Employee vs. Employer Contributions
In most General Business 401(k) plans like the Latona Trucking, Inc.. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan, employee contributions are always 100% vested. However, employer contributions often have a vesting schedule—meaning the employee must work a certain number of years before these funds fully belong to them.
For QDRO purposes, it’s important to clarify whether the alternate payee is receiving 50% of the total account—or just the vested account balance. If this isn’t clearly spelled out in the order, the alternate payee could receive less than expected.
